NBA Playoffs Same-Game Parlay Picks Today: Celtics vs. 76ers, Nuggets vs. Suns
Nobody is packing up their clothes after tonight's games.
So that's the encouraging news in the NBA.
We've got two Game 5's with all teams locked up in a 2-2 tie in their respective conference semifinal matchups.
The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets are in the driver's seat. They've got a homecourt advantage for the final three games of their series. But one upset tonight would change everything.
Here are a couple of same-game parlays to consider for today's matchups.
NBA Same-Game Parlays for Tuesday
Celtics vs. 76ers Same-Game Parlay
3-Leg Same-Game Parlay Odds (+479) (Bet $100 to collect $579) Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
- Jayson Tatum Under 28.5 Points (-111)
- Derrick White Under 2.5 Assists (-113)
- Tyrese Maxey Under 2.5 Assists (-162)
Jayson Tatum has only averaged 21 points per game against the 76ers this season. Add on the fact that he only scored two points in the first half in Game 4, and this bet is looking juicy. Tatum hasn't reached 29 or more points in three straight games against the 76ers. He was in foul trouble in Game 2, shot 50% in Game 3, and used overtime in Game 4 to help increase his stats. But it still wasn't enough. This is Jaylen Brown's team now. Meanwhile, Derrick White has averaged 30 minutes a night. But he's added no more than two assists in his last three games. White has earned three or more assists in just 40% of his last 20 games. Finally, Tyrese Maxey is third on the 76ers in scoring. So he's not looking to pass. He's earned three or more assists in three of his last ten games. Even in 45 minutes in Game 4, he added just one assist for the 76ers.
Nuggets vs. Suns Same-Game Parlay
3-Leg Same-Game Parlay Odds (+540) (Bet $100 to collect $640) Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
- Aaron Gordon Under 14.5 Points (-115)
- Michael Porter Jr. Under 15.5 Points (-120)
- Cameron Payne Under 2.5 Rebounds (-136)
Aaron Gordon began the playoffs red hot. But he scored 11 or fewer points in his last two games. Gordon isn't a big three-point shooting threat and has shot under 50% from the field in the last two games. He'll get over 35 minutes a game, but he's no longer a top-scoring option for the Nuggets. Plus, he rarely gets to the foul line. Meanwhile, his teammate Michael Porter Jr. has averaged nine points per game against the Suns. In the playoffs, he's scored 12 points per game. He's coming off a Game 4 where he scored 11 points on 2-for-9 from the floor. So while the volume is there, the efficiency isn't. And with Cameron Payne playing for the injured Chris Paul, expectations are probably slightly higher than they should be. Payne earned just two rebounds in his last 55 minutes. I doubt he'll be able to earn three in 25-30 minutes tonight.
